Bowers and Wilkins, 801 D4

Just as a rule of thumb that I’ve noticed between a few major brands;

B&W = good bass, thin mid-range, mildly bright and detailed tweeter, very wide and tall sound stage.

Focal = thinner bass, thin mid-range, bright and very detailed tweeter

Sonus Faber = bass similar to Focal, fullest mid-range, mildly bright and detailed tweeter

I consider Sonus Faber being the all around average or middle ground between the others. Older generations might be slightly different due to tuning changes.

I like soix suggestion, gasp. Seriously tho if you’re used to the Wilson house sound there’s a good chance any other brand is gonna be that little bit off. It happened to me when I tried replacing a couple speakers. I loved my VA’s for jazz and folk, but my KEF r 105/3’s were for rocking the house and after a half dozen different brands come and gone I’m back with kef (blades).

This post is four years old and was reawakened by a question that makes no sense in the context of the thread.  Don’t waste your time. 

yeah, i forgot to check the date on op.
